really? mine typically takes upwards of 1.5 hours. Granted dry time can be reduced and spin time from the wash a bit at the end but it will still take MUCH more than 5 minutes to properly clean a shirt. Plus, it also costs money to simply wash 1 item at a time, which leads back into the 1.5 hours thing. Typically 40 minutes for washing and 50 minutes for drying a load. That being said I don't think people will like being next to someone who hasn't taken off their shirt in 100 days. Just because it doesn't smell or have wrinkles doesn't mean the damned thing isn't dirty!
But that's all automated. It only takes 5 minutes of YOUR personal time to load the dirty clothes in, put in some detergent, set the knobs, and away it goes. Then load in the dryer an hour later. +1. There is hope for you yet.
I think this was mainly intended for people who work upwards of 17-20 hrs a day and even then sometimes never leave to office. Many of these offices have closets in them and a lot of these people have no choice but to use the insanely expensive "Pick Up and Drop Off" Dry cleaning company that services the building they are working at. To have a bunch of these shirts hanging in their closet is pretty convenient for them before having a chance to go home and wash them all themselves and iron them. "
Good news. You don't have to wait for the kickstarter to finish, you could just buy shirts made by that guys father. . Also, they are just wool shirts. Not any special kind of wool. Just wool.
